Café Josephine
199 Museum Way, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Café Josephine is a hidden gem tucked near Corona Heights with a sun-soaked terrace and million-dollar city views that make it feel like a secret locals have been keeping. The kitchen shines with thoughtful comfort food—their grilled cheese with pesto is legendary, the egg salad toast is simple perfection, and they partner with Acme Bakery for excellent breads, all backed by genuinely great coffee and the kind of warm, attentive service that makes you want to linger for hours. It's the rare spot where you'll find ample free parking, room to spread out, and that unhurried cafe atmosphere that makes San Francisco feel a little bit like home.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Parking available.

Wonderful little cafe worth seeking out. Lots of free parking. Acme Bakery breads. Nice wait staff. The grilled cheese with pesto and soup is delicious. Lovely patio seating area with million dollar views of SF and the Bay. The “parrots of Telegraph Hill” were circling the trees…
